    We have a problem.
    My BM (see sig) will not take the replacement rear wheel I
    have prepared for it.
    Anyone here who can tell me about BM developments that mean
    this new wheel locks into the fins on the mating face of the
    bevel box?
    There are 12 protuberances around the bowl of this wheel,
    where the drive spline boss is riveted,
    which had been milled off my original wheel.
    I would like to know what changes lead to this difference in
    the wheels.
    Was the bevel box facing (?) plate strengthened at a later
    stage by these fins?
    What were these protuberances designed for (something to do
    with the drum brake perhaps)?

    What the **** should I do for the best?
    (Nothing here for you Lozzo, walk away please)
    More specific BM sites are generally stumped by this question.

    I'm not going to comment as it all sounds rather deadly.

  4. That was the answer to the question before. The proper answer may well
    be not yet available due to a lack of debate.

    I think 600W and a 5 inch disk is ideal for the job. Not so big as to
    be unwieldy and yet small enough to be really quite artistic with it.
    People with larger hands may disagree but I think they are cunts and
    remind them that it is but single drops of water what wears down
    mountains into the pretty shapes we see today.


    Personally I would go for old fashioned fibre rather than diamond disks
    as the noise is a major component of it and diamond just doesn't cut it
    in this department. And before you all start the bit about steering the
    sparks better with diamond or any of the newer stuff is just bollox.
    Granted in the hands of a newbie a diamond disk is easier to get the
    basics of but it plateau's earlier so when you have done a few the old
    fashioned way is every bit as good.

  7. Neither did I. When did this happen then? I can manage a few chords on
    me banjo and even less on me uke but I wouldn't go as far as to
    seriously call it playing other than in the sense of at or with iyswim.
